| User information When I install programs like Microsof Office. OSX gives them my full name... WTF... no bitch. How do I edit off my last name from the OS X system? It required one at registration and now it's happy to give it to anyone.  |

| Mac OS X, nor Microsoft Office, "give" anyone your full name. You don't have to send any of that information to anyone. You have the option to not register with Microsoft, which doesn't affect program operation in the slightest. Besides -- Mac OS X didn't "give" anything to Office -- Office specifically pulled that information out of OS X by itself, so if there's any beef with your first and last name in Office, it's with Microsoft -- not Apple. Yes, your first and last name are stored in Mac OS X -- because you put them there. If you didn't want it in there, then you shouldn't have put it in there. There was nothing stopping you from putting in "Bob Jones" or "Mickey Valentine" or "Sinead O'Connor." Nothing -- NOTHING -- in Mac OS X is transmitted to anyone without your explicit confirmation and permission. It's safely tucked away in the operating system, just as you voluntarily put it in there. As for your other problems, if you can explain them in detail, we can help to resolve them. Many people use Mac OS X successfully and without issue every day. If you find OS X to be nothing but full of problems, then there are a number of other operating systems out there that will suit your needs.

| If it bothers you, download "Little Snitch" It stops everything outgoing unless you approve it.
